DESCRIPTION
foomatic-printjob provides a spooler-independent interface to creating
and managing printer jobs and print queues. Note that the first argu-
ment changes the mode of the command, as it combines the functionality
of several System V-style printing commands.
OPTIONS
-sspooler Explicit spooler type.
-Pqueuename
Any commands specified should apply to this queue instead of
the default.
-ooption=value
Set option to value
-ooption Set the switch option
-#n Print n copies
file1 file2 ...
Files to be printed, when no file is given, standard input
will be printed
-Q Query the jobs in a queue. If a list of users is specified,
only those users' jobs will be queried.
-Q -a Query the jobs in all queues. If a list of users is speci-
fied, only those users' jobs will be queried.
-R [ - | jobid1 jobid2 ... ]
Remove a job from a queue. Using - will remove all jobs.
-C command [ arguments ]
Execute control commands for queue/job manipulation. The
commands are the ones of the BSD "lpc" utility. Use the con-
trol command "help" to get a list of supported commands.
Note: the amount of commands varies with the spooler, but the
same commands given under different spoolers do the same
thing.
-i Interactive mode: You will be asked if foomatic-printjob is
in doubt about something. Otherwise foomatic-printjob uses
auto-detection or quits with an error.
-S Save the chosen spooler as the default spooler
-h Show this message or show a list of available options if a
queue is specified
